Hi there. It depends what you mean by “dirty”.
Obviously proper preparation prior to
undertaking sexual activity such as anal sex
reduces the chances of embarrassing things
occurring such as “shit dick”. This can be
accomplished by proper douche technique or
commercially available enemas. From a sexual
health point of view, any sexual act is broadly
safe so long as you or your partners do not
have any STIs, if you do have any underlying
STIs then get them treated. The best way to
protect against these is to use condoms and to
get regularly tested for STIs, at least every 3
months, this testing is available free at NHS
sexual health clinics and some Terrence
Higgins Trust offices. I would also recommend
using condoms with a good water-based
lubricant, again these are available free form
Terrence Higgins Trust.

I'm a little worried about being "dirty"
down there during sex. Is there
anything I can do that's safe?
